12. Using No value for GDBN with Different Languages

Although programming languages generally have common aspects, they are
rarely expressed in the same manner. For instance, in ANSI C,
dereferencing a pointer p is accomplished by *p, but in
Modula-2, it is accomplished by p^. Values can also be
represented (and displayed) differently. Hex numbers in C appear as
‘0x1ae’, while in Modula-2 they appear as ‘1AEH’.

Language-specific information is built into No value for GDBN for some languages,
allowing you to express operations like the above in your program's
native language, and allowing No value for GDBN to output values in a manner
consistent with the syntax of your program's native language. The
language you use to build expressions is called the working
language.
